The Question
When my spouse dies and I no longer have his social security for income, would I be eligible for survivor benefits?
Hi Brenda, great question. We need a little more info,
1. What age are you assuming your spouse passes away?
2. Was he already receiving social security benefits?
3. Is there more of 10 year gap in age between the two of you?
Happy to help.
Joe
